Unboxing the Xiaomi 13T mid-range smartphone with a review of the camera tech, gaming performance on Genshin Impact, battery life and features. Despite the Xiaomi 13T costing less than half an iPhone 15 Pro Max, I've enjoyed using it a LOT more!

That Leica Vario-Summicron camera setup is reliable for everyday photography. The 50MP 24mm sensor with OIS works well even at night, and tends to offer realistic textures and tones. You can't shoot 8K video like you can with the Xiaomi 13T Pro but 4K footage still looks and sounds good.

While these phones often disappoint for software support, that’s not a problem here. The Xiaomi 13T boasts five years of security updates, plus four OS updates.

Gamers will love that Mediatek Dimensity 8200 Ultra performance too. Games like Genshin Impact run perfectly even over long periods. Meanwhile the 6.67-inch AMOLED screen, with HDR10+ AND Dolby Vision support, is bright, poppy and gorgeous.

Last up, the Xiaomi 13T can keep going all day with its 5000mah battery. Plus the 67W charging speeds means it lasts longer than the iPhone 15 Pro Max, and powers up faster!
